Yeah, I thought she seemed more "Keeping up with the (gag) Kardashians" than medical school.Maybe Gutfeld picked her because her "arguments" (which seemed far more "rote parroting" than actual arguments) were so transparently stupid.

" keeping up with the Kardashians" lol ............ Yes, lots of things put out by big media is scripted and this is more than likely another example of it.
It's been proven that people who obsessively worry about some things are far more likely than the general population to have acute problems with those things.
Stress, fear, worry, and a gloom-n-doom attitude have probably killed as many people throughout history as any specific, ie 'quantifiable' disease. Not to make light of any human disease condition, but sometimes the a priori fear is more debilitating in the greater sense. The prehistoric caveman who was so terrified of the wooly mammoth that he wouldn't leave his cave to hunt for his food likely died of starvation.

Kinda' where I was going with it Andria.
Caution that becomes paralyzing fear is not an acceptable defense mechanism for a human. It works sometimes for 'possums, but I still see a lot of them dead in the middle of the road too.
This is why I often say that humans are just as stupid and irrational as we have evolved to be, and why so many have such a knee-jerk negative reaction to "higher" thought -- it really *can* get you dead, if engaged in at an inopportune time -- like if there's a train bearing down on you, you jump, you don't stand there trying to figure out just how far away it is. Of course the reflexes evolved some million or more years before trains, but those reflexes still work, whether you're trying to escape a galloping wooly mammoth or a freight train. But most things that people fear nowadays are far less concrete, and really need more of that "higher" rational thought -- which takes a little longer; meanwhile the stress of suppressing the fight or flight response is eating modern man alive.Nothing is 'risk-free', and every action has consequences. You weigh it all out, and then you live your life and have the most fun that you can without hurting others.
On my death certificate I want the cause to read: excessive smiling and old age.
No it can't, recently in the last few weeks scientists claimed that without nicotine in e liquid it is impossible to get cancer. Even with nicotine they said the chances are very low compared to ciggarettes and that it is still easier to get cancer from the sun than it is ecigs due to the very low carcinogen count in e liquids.
My source is the website for the university of Kentucky research lab. It's not been widely talked about because yes you can still get cancer but the chance is far lower than you would expect. Nicotine is one of the weakest carcinogens in ciggarettes. When vaping only one carcinogen the odds of developing cancer are very similar to someone who doesn't smoke. Why don't you redo your biology classes. I can promise I'm not making this .... up. Cancer developes depending on the strength of the immune system in a human. That's why a lot of kids and elderly people get cancer. Cancer is a cell in all humans body's. When something causes those cells to multiply and the immune system cannot fight it off your body gets taken over by the cells.
The presence or lack of nicotine probably has nearly zero effect on the chances of getting cancer.
